The first update, the old group is full, and the new group number: 528206691

In August 1995, not long after Microsoft's Windows 95 was launched, the Soviet Union quietly launched its own computer operating system, which was developed by the Soviet microcomputer design team led by the NPO Science Center, who had previously developed the famous ElektronikaBK series system, which was also one of the symbols of mass production of Soviet home computers.

The Amber operating system brought this time is the same as Microsoft's Windows 95, abandoning the previous 16-bit x86 support and bringing a more powerful, more stable, and more practical desktop graphical user interface. Microsoft spends a lot of money on advertising for Windows 95. The launch of Windows 95 was held on a 12-acre sports field on the campus of the University of Raymond, and more than 70,000 people around the world watched the event via satellite broadcast, and the media coverage was overwhelming.

Compared with Microsoft's high profile, the Soviet Union's operating system development was much more low-key, only publicized on a small scale, as the Soviet Union's new home computer operating system, although not as compatible as Microsoft, but it was the first national brand vigorously launched in the hands of Yanayev.

At that time, Yanayev continued to implement the Soviet Union's electronic computer development plan despite public opinion, just as he did to implement Marshal Ogarkov's electronic information technology priority, and the then finance minister Ryzhkov even used economic difficulties to coerce Yanayev to abandon part of the electronic information technology development plan. Because these things were for the Soviet Union. It's as terrifying as the bottomless pit of gold absorption of the N1 rocket. But all this was stopped by Yanayev.

"Electronic technology in the USSR had to be developed. This is a footstep that no one can stop. If anyone uses economic hardship as an excuse, then he is a sinner of the state. ”

Yanayev's speech at the political-political-bureau meeting laid the foundation for this scientific and technological revolution, and Clinton, who did not come to power in accordance with the course of history, was unable to promote the golden decade of electronic information technology development in the United States in the 90 s.

Although the United States and the Soviet Union were not on the same starting line, Yanayev at least brought each other closer by several steps.

Amber can be said to be a copycat version of the Soviet Union's Windows 95, as the Soviet Union that can copy and imitate any computer operating system in the West, the only difference is probably that the Amber computer purchased comes with a computer game, according to Yanayev's requirements

In 1991, computers were still in the mid-range in the Soviet Union. The original Elektronika BK was priced at around 600 rubles, but by 1995, with the advent of the Amber operating system, the more powerful CPU and programming made it a full third cheaper than in the days of BK.

Computers began to be popularized in families with slightly better economic strength, which provided great convenience for the people's office, and the imitation of office software made computerization quietly begin to be popularized in more units. But for ordinary people, what attracts their attention more is a game installed on the computer. It's not a little game like Tetris, Snake and Minesweeper, but a real epoch-making work. Although the operating interface in the nineties made him look a little rudimentary.

The name of this piece is called. Red Alert: Iron Curtain.

Unlike the Black Su masterpiece released by Electronic Arts Games, this game won the favor of Russian teenagers with a completely different plot from the original history. It is no longer the brutal Soviets crushing the steel gears of the world, but the plot story of the formation of the axis of evil against the backdrop of the right-wing militarist forces in the United States.

Roosevelt, who was assassinated, had no chance to implement Roosevelt's New Deal, and was replaced by another Hitler-like militarist madman who frantically expanded armaments, developed nuclear bombs, and pioneered a worldwide war. The United States, Germany, and Japan formed the Axis of Evil, Europe at this time had fallen, the American war machine had come to the door of the Soviet Union, and the protagonist of the game as the commander had no way back, and behind him was Moscow. The Soviets will never surrender! The axis of evil will pay for its actions! ”

Kirov, Apocalypse, Magnetic Storm Coil, Iron Curtain System, Super Nuke. Soviet teenagers, who had never experienced this kind of game atmosphere, were immediately attracted to the fact that when they were still immersed in the production of small games such as Tetris, the Soviet authorities, who had always been conservative in their image, would withdraw from making games with such a radical background, or it was from official promotion.

In order to match the game's publicity, a promotional video was also launched, showing the Apocalypse tanks from Moscow crossing icy Siberia, the Soviet troops engaged the Axis of Evil forces in Poland, and the Kirov bombers covering the sky and dusk.

At the same time, the Soviet Propaganda Department also subtly mixed the idea of exalting the Soviet Union and denigrating the United States into the game, when seeing the real steel torrent in the game screen pushing the city of Berlin and planting the flag symbolizing communism, everyone can't help but recall in their minds the neat and loud and exciting slogans of the soldiers in the game.

Long live the Soviets!

The game's exuberant backdrop made the game a hit in the Soviet Union almost overnight, and the new real-time strategy game made the new Soviet Union's Amber operating system instantly gain a large number of fans, and instead of Microsoft spending a lot of money to promote its own game, the Science Center used only one game to promote its own system. And the game also became a masterpiece in the eyes of Soviet teenagers overnight.

And this game was just a small suggestion made by Yanayev to the R&D center, and he did not expect that the Soviet Propaganda Department would actually use a game to promote the Soviet national consciousness, and the country's image propaganda was almost amazingly successful.

Under the influence of Yanayev, Surkov learned the pervasive propaganda methods of the United States to the extreme, and they could penetrate the national consciousness-form-state into any aspect, books, movies or games, but unlike the rigid praise at the beginning, the Soviet Propaganda Department mainly subtly belittled the other side, highlighting the greatness and shining point of communism in every detail.

"Red Alert: Iron Curtain" became a household name and legend before the winter of 1995 arrived. Surkov was amazed to find that the impact of this work was much more successful and wonderful than any previous publicity.
